I took this picture this spring....and I just liked it.

Thank you Christie and Amanda... for jumping in Lake Michigan
with me, on that wonderful little Island we call "Mac".... and in the
midst of it all, for realizing that sometimes.... you just have to exercise the demons!
Good times.... I love you both!

And so it is… just like they said it would be. A life made easy for me. Most of the time. And so I flounder… in finding where I should be. No guts no glory. Someone once told me, that every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. And that same person told me that everything ends badly, or it wouldn’t end. So which is it? Or is it both?

As humans we all inevitably sell out… to something. A job, a relationship, an image, a mortgage, an impression, an expectation…. No matter how significant or trivial the ignition switch… we all sell out at some point to exist in this life. When we do, a part of us dies… and its usually that little piece that was going to keep us grounded to ourselves. That little sliver of your soul that keeps you, you. And its for sale. Its always is.

I’m too tired to think about the rest…. The questions of whether or not we can get it back, how do you go about replacing it once its gone….. too tired to figure that out right now. But I will be thinking about it, and it will end up here soon. Along with the rest of the things no one but me ever wonders about.

WITH GORILLA GONE,

WILL THERE

BE HOPE
FOR MAN?
